New Everton Stadium

I wouldn't be too concerned with the funding, question comes down to whether Usmanov wants to see his investment go down the drain. They either finish the stadium and recoup the money or they sell on for less with a commitment for the buyer to build stadium. If they stop the build due to lack of funds then the only buyers will be vultures looking to pick off the carcass as everyone will know we're up crap creek.

My point about expanding the North stand is one for the future after the stadium is built anyhow, as technically it can be done without removing the roof etc. rather than trying to build onto the west/east stand, making it far more costly and alter the clean look of the continuous roof we will have.

You serious mate ?
Usmanov is subject to sanctions that prevent him conducting 'business as normal' and as such, he's highly unlikely to be able to feed Moshiri with further funds, if indeed that's been the way BMD has been funded to this point.

There was a similar message in the old Cheapside Bridewell. Coincidently, the UN reported it was more akin to a concentration camp than a bridewell.

You could be made to collide with every door frame,on the way in and out.

You honestly see tens of thousands hanging around the stadium after the final whistle?

Yes. But not hanging around. Drinking and eating in the first class facilities we will have at BMD whilst watching the highlights of that day's match or the live 5.30pm game on a Saturday, for example.

Sounds fanciful.

Everton's support would have to go through a sea change in culture.

50,000 people emtying out of there will have one thiught: let's GTF home...especially if there's a reversal.

So just a quick recap :

We’ve moved on from :

1. Exploding helicopters
2. Stray turbine blades
3. Unsightly brickwork patterns
4. Ugly listed wall, that’s too high
5. Stadium thats not high enough

To :

Todays bucket of misery, slow moving crowds, due to that nasty, listed wall, impeding the entrance and exit of the crowds lol

If the club keeps several concourse bars open and shows other matches, how many will stick around? 1k? 2? More?
How many will leave before Full time? Like what happens today, 5k?
You're talking like every one in the ground will arrive at the Regent Road exit at the same time. They won't.
Those in the west stand (lower) are 5 mins away, upper, longer.
How wide are those gates at the entrance? I'll bet they're not much narrower than the streets running off Goodison Road when you factor in the parked cars.

If after a couple of games it's a problem they'll open safe walkways around both ends of Nelson Dock to people can join Regent Road further down.

Don't write it off as a bad job because you don't like the look of it. Professionals who study flow dynamics and such like will have had an input.

I could buy you a first class ticket to LA and you'd complain about the cheese and wine selection on the flight.

Cheer up

Not sure about the exact length of the entrance that'll be carved out of the wall (which will take the bulk of access/egress), but the club stated in its design and access document (pt1):

"For the required openings in the Regent Road wall, this means creating the smallest openings possible to still provide safe access to and from the site."

You will need these clogs to walk on the cobbles lads according to @davek

Yes, Dave. And that sea change is essentially moving from a decrepit Goodison Park to a wonderful 21st century new home at Bramley-Moore.

"For the required openings in the Regent Road wall, this means creating the smallest openings possible to still provide safe access to and from the site."

It doesn't say:

"For the required openings in the Regent Road wall, this means creating an almighty bottleneck that will create unbelievable tension amongst the fuming Da's"

There is always the shortcut

In many ways i am starting to like the wall better than the inside of the stadium

Absolutely. Moshiri has funds and probably could get more if required through creative payouts of companies he is involved with. This is obviously plan B as he would have preferred to dilute his shareholding in us and use their money to finish the stadium but either way downing tools isn't a sensible option when your already up to your nuts.

My personal belief is that he would be pleasantly surprised that people are willing to sit down and discuss Everton at 1 billion and if he can get the stadium built with a loan attached to the club perhaps recovering his investment might be possible.
